Folks at the Cable Asylum just want to be able to discuss cables and cable tweaks without every other objectivist objectionist trying to save all those mid-guided folks from themselves and from the other cable "nuts".
Why is it that most folks will allow that amps, preamps, disc players, DAC's and most any audio device can sound different, despite virtually identical specs or measurements, yet cables MUST all sound the same?
The would be saviors really don't want to save, they just end up denigrating folks who have gotten past the ideological hump of the realization that EVERYTHING in an audio system makes a difference.
Are $15,000 power cords or speaker cables crazy? Sure, so is a $500,000 car, or (in my opinion) a $10,000 golf club. But when folks discuss the latter two, there is never the animosity we see with high performance/high end audio gear, just the oft expressed wish that they could afford such a luxury.
Bottom line is that until you have actually tried swapping out some high performance cables with an open and honest ear, you are just whistling in the dark.
